PALMER PARK, Md. — Police in Maryland say they decided against live-tweeting a prostitution sting because of security concerns — but they believe that announcing those plans served as a deterrent to would-be johns.

Prince George's County Police say they conducted a sting on Tuesday targeting men who solicit prostitutes and made no arrests over a period of several hours.
